adding completion features to a module with multiple stories?

Apr 19, 2013

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to grey out each of the 3 characters on this module once a user has clicked on them and completed the slides that connect to them.

So that the user knows which characters they have completed, especially if they complete the module in more than one sitting.

Not sure if that makes sense? I have tried to change the state of the picture, but because the trigger will be on a different slide I'm not sure how to link it up?

I also wanted to have a completion box that pops up once all three polaroid characters have been completed...no idea how to do that either!

Hi Russell,

I had a similar problem with one of my courses. What you can do to indicate when a section has been completed is:

  1. Create a true/false variable on the last slide of each section with a default value of 'false'
  2. Create a trigger on the last slide of each section to change that variable to 'true' when timeline starts
  3. On the 'menu' screen you have included a screenshot of, create a trigger to change the state of [character] to 'selected' (or whatever stat you want) when timeline starts, on condition that [variable] = true

To show a 'completed' pop-up when all 3 sections have been viewed, you can:

  1. Create a layer on the screen above that has your pop-up caption on it
  2. Create a trigger to show layer when timeline starts, on condition that [variable1], [variable2] and [variable3] = true

Hopefully this will help.

See attached file for an example of how to achieve this. To indicate "completion", I simply use the visited state of the three pictures (I didn't have the source file, so I just added transparent objects with a greyed out visited state). On the main menu, there is one trigger that shows a completion layer, once all three buttons are in visited state. Hope that helps.
